Contributor Bio(s): Sales, Leila: - Leila Sales is the author of the novels Mostly Good Girls and Past Perfect. She grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts, and graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Chicago. Much like the characters in This Song Will Save Your Life, Leila regularly stays up too late and listens to music too loud.

Leila lives and writes in Brooklyn, New York, and works in children's book publishing. |
